Poems by Flavia Mayara Silva

Deeply-Secretly

It's not easy to know what was true:
For me and for you; for us.
My age, my life; and rules?
But I guess it's what I feel.
But not what I felt.

I felt and heard and saw and heard.
I heard you:
I heard you; now you hear me!
Us two: you and me.
I'll hear you too.

I felt so confused.
Who am I?
Me who?
I loved every little detail of you;
Being loved by you.

But that's in the past.
Me and you forever it would have been.
I thought we would last.
But you're just my past.
You would have of been part of me.

You are still part of me.
As, deeply-secretly,
I am part of you.

Maybe sometimes you didn't want to be part of me.
And I often didn't want to be part of you.
Were we?
It was all so true!
I learn from you as you learned from me.

I guess it was the age diffference.
You tried to make out I was so immature.
But I thought you wrong.
I taught you more then you will ever know!
Whatever!
Just perhaps, deeply-secretly.

It's over.

Thankful

I realized today
That being thankful
For what you have
Is important.

I am thankful that I am able to see,
Because to see is the gift of seeing.
And without that I wouldn't know my colours;
I wouldn't be able to see a sunset.

I am thankful that I am able to talk,
Because to talk is the gift of speaking.
And without that I would have a write
To prove a point, or defend myself, or to communicate.

I am thankful that I am able to hear,
Because to hear is the gift of hearing.
And without that there would be
No music or stories to hear.

And I feel for those
Who are not able.
Because not being able is to not be able
But to be thankful for every other thing you have.

Run Away Feeling by Ruinna Stone

A runaway feeling
Invades my heart.
If I lose control;
If I let go;
A distant emotion
Takes hold of my soul.
If I become too weak
And I let you in

Its a runaway feeling
That creeps through me.
If I see you
It overtakes me,
Though there is no use.
I'll bear it until is chooses to go,
And I'll know when it hurts no more

Beauty by Rebecca Heffernan

Walking through the park I see
Rich green grass and kids being free.
Playing ball and talking to friends,
Playing games and having fun to no end.

The sky is blue and the air is fresh.
The view of the sea makes you sit down to rest
On a bench, I gather my thoughts
Sounds of dogs barking, chasing sticks and balls.

The flowers so beautiful with colours so bright;
All the colours of the rainbow, what a sight!
People ride bikes, walk their babies in prams,
Teams playing football, school kids in gangs.

Birds flying and singing, some nest in the trees.
The senior citizens play bowls on the green.
The sounds of laughter, quarrels and strife
Don’t take it for granted, it’s the beauty of life.

Poems by Robin Donaldson

Being Hurt and Not Understanding Why

Being hurt by someone who
You thought loved you,
Is hard to get over.

Knowing that the person you love
Is in love with someone else,
Is very hurtful.

Waiting and putting your life on hold
Until this person decides they want you,
Is stupid.

Hearing that person's voice or hearing someone
Bring that person's name up and you want them back,
Is okay.

And being in love with that same person
Is wonderful.

When you are hurt
And there are lots of feelings
That you don't understand.
And you don't know why
You still feel this way
About a person
Who doesn't even
Want anything
To do with you.

Well, suck it up
'Cause that's life
And that's how
Some people are
And the only thing
You can do is
Try to stay away
From people
Like that.

Now they are going to be hard to spot at first;
That's how people are.
But you will know when you do something wrong,
Or you don't have anything to give:
Then it's over.

But don't give up
And don't give in,
'Cause life goes on
And the world is
Getting harder.
So get prepared for
What's coming up
You know.

Being in love

Being in love is a beautiful thing
'Cause when you are in love
Everything that was hard at one point,
Is easy.
And everything that seems so wrong,
Feels so right ...
When you are in love.

Now there is a difference
Between loving someone
And being in love with that person.

When you are in love with that person,
Just by thinking about them
Brings happy tears to your eyes;
And every time you hear their name
You get chills;
And every time you see their face
You know that they are the one,
And that there is no one else
Out there for you.

Now, when you find the love that's right,
At that moment you know
That you are in love.
Keep it, 'cause there is nothing more than
Being in love.

Dreams

I dream of your touch while you are away,
I dream of your smile all through the day.
I remember the day you came into my life,
I dream of the day I will be your wife.
I dream of the day I can fall asleep next to you,
I dream of the day I can say, "I do."
To be your wife to be together for life,
Is a dream I have every night

What I Love about You

I love the way you look at me your eyes so bright and blue.
I love the way you kiss me your lips so soft and smooth.
I love the way you make me so happy and the way you show you care.
I love the way you say, "I love you", and you're always there.
I love the way you touch me sending me chills down my spine.
I love that you are with me and glad you are mine.

All I Ever Wanted by Avion Omari

All I ever wanted was to be in your heart,
And for us to be together, and never be apart.
When you are sad, I will dry your tears
When you are scared, I will comfort your fears

No one else in the world can ever compare,
You’re perfect and so is this love that we share.
We have so much more than I ever thought we would,
I love you more than I ever thought I could.

I promise to give you all I can give;
I'll do anything for you as long as I live.
When you need love, I will share
When you are sick, I promise I will care

In your eyes I see our present, our future and past,
By the look in your eyes I know we will last.
I hope that one day you'll realize,
How perfect you are when seen in my eyes.

Now the time has gone by, in laughs and tears,
These days I will remember, for years and years.
Those memories we have, will never fade,
Because these are the steps that we have made.

But that was the past, the future is near,
And I just can't wait, for what will appear.
I'll take care of you and treat you right
I'll lay by your side even when we fight

The dreams I have, that all involve you,
The chances I see and everything we can do.
I could go on for days, telling you what I feel,
But all you have to know is my love for you is real.

We're Here by Krissie Honey

Our thoughts will be there for you as you sit and reminisce,
Thinking of all the good times you will surely miss.
If you need someone to talk to or you're having a bad day,
Just remember that your friends are only a phone call away.

Your heart has never hurt so much, your tears don't seem to end,
I promise you one day they will and your heart will start to mend.
Just remember on the bad days when you are feeling blue,
Your loving friends and family are always there for you.

Your Eyes by Emory S. Ryberg

Baby, be my everything.
Baby, don't abandon me.
Don't be like them;
Don't be my end.

Baby, just close your eyes,
I can no longer bare your lies.
Why can't it just stay
The way you would always say?

Why do you tell me your dreams,
Only to shy away from my screams?
I gave you all I had,
You gave it all back.

You promised to protect me.
How could this be,
With her in your arms?
How can you keep me out of harm's
Way, when you lie keeping her warm?

Baby, just close your eyes.
I can never forget your lies.
You will always look into the night;
The wishing well has turned out the light.
